Gong Xiurong raised the small wine glass on the table: "This glass of wine is to thank Miss Mu for saving my life."
He should have gone to express his gratitude the next day, but the housekeeper of the Mu Mansion sent him away on the grounds that Mu Nanjin was injured and could not see guests, so he couldn't force his way in.
I didn't expect to meet her in Baodian Lake today, so I couldn't wait to invite her onto the boat.
Mu Nanjin admired the top performers' dancing while sipping his wine: "The assassin also wanted to kill me at that time. I chased him away, which was equivalent to saving myself. You don't have to thank me."
In fact, she got close to him and saved him not only because she thought he was handsome, but also out of selfish motives.
She had seen in gossip news that Gong Xiurong had a little relationship with her, and her intuition told her that this person could not die, and it was very likely related to the task mentioned by the system. In this case, why not save someone? "That would also be considered saving me."
Gong Xiurong poured her another glass of wine and said, "This time I invited Miss Mu, besides thanking her, I am also saying goodbye to her."
"Goodbye?"
Mu Nanjin frowned.
Wouldn't that mean there would be no more handsome men to look at in the future? "Yes, something might have happened at home and I need to go back to check it out."
When Gong Xiurong said this, his eyes dimmed.
He was very sad that the person he had always trusted betrayed him. Moreover, something big must have happened at home for someone he trusted to behave abnormally.
"oh."
Gong Xiurong felt disappointed when he saw that she just responded lightly, and swallowed back the words he wanted to say.
Mu Nanjin saw that he had something to say: "Just say it."
"The journey is long, and we may meet again..."
Seeing that he was hesitant, Mu Nanjin asked, "Are you worried that you will encounter assassins again? Do you want me to take you home?"
Gong Xiurong nodded.
Mu Nanjin shook his head: "It is impossible for me to leave Daqian Country, at least not now."
Gong Xiurong had expected that she would not agree, so he smiled and said, "I am being abrupt."
Mu Nanjin glanced at the red necklace on his neck and said, "Give me the necklace on your neck."
Gong Xiurong took off the necklace and handed it to her without hesitation.
Mu Nanjin injected spiritual power into the necklace, and the broken beads returned to their original shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Mu Nanjin returned the bracelet to it: "With it here, even if you encounter the assassin from that day, he won't be able to do anything to you."
"Miss Mu, thank you so much. I don't know how to thank you."
Gong Xiurong took the necklace and put it back around her neck with care: "Oh, right. Since I am leaving Daqian Country, there are some things that I cannot take with me. Xiaoqinglou will be given to you, and the other two brothels will also be given to you. After we get off the boat, I will send someone to deliver the brothel's title deed and the indenture to your house, and I will also leave a few people to help you."
What a generous and considerate man.
Hehehe, from now on I can visit brothels at will.
Mu Nanjin had saved his life and was like his second parent. She accepted his gift without any hesitation: "Write me the names of the people close to you and the names of your enemies."
"OK."
Gong Xiurong didn't know what she meant, but he wrote it down anyway.
Mu Nanjin pointed out a few people on the list that he should be wary of.
These people made Gong Xiurong fall into deep thought. Although he was curious about why she knew that these people would be bad for him, he did not ask.
"Miss Mu, why are you helping me?"
Mu Nanjin said without thinking: "Because you are pretty."
Gong Xiurong was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Miss Mu, are you telling the truth?"
Mu Nanjin nodded: "Of course it's the truth."
Gong Xiurong laughed even more happily, and her hearty laughter attracted the girls outside to look at her secretly.
When he had almost finished laughing, he asked again, "Miss Mu, I am about to leave Daqian Country. Before that, is there anything you want me to do? As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you do it."
Mu Nanjin's eyes suddenly lit up: "I want to see you do a striptease."
Gong Xiurong: "..."
Darlings, remember to vote and support us, eh?
